Abstract:
Partial unilateral lentiginosis is a rare pigmentary disorder characterized by the numerous unilateral lentigines on the otherwise normal skin. A 13-year-old woman presented with asymptomatic multiple brownish macules on the left periorbital area. Her mother and maternal grandfather had the same clinical features on the left abdomen. Histologic examination of the pigmented lesion revealed findings consistent with lentigo simplex. We report an interesting case of partial unilateral lentiginosis with familial occurrence.
